"It is a highly poisonous tree, known in parts of Western Australia as 'camel poison'. All parts of the tree are toxic, even dry leaves, although it seems that little corellas can eat the seeds. Suckering shoots are particularly dangerous. Domestic animals have been poisoned by leaves accidentally trapped in the side of trucks which were transporting them; 50 grams of leaves is enough to kill. Do not tie your horse to this tree!"

There is no place in Australia I would go swimming except a swimming pool and even that I would walk around and make sure there wasn't a croc in it.Funny how that works... I grew up in SW La. where we had alligators all over the place. We swam in the rice canals that were full of them and yet we had no fear of them. Crocs on the other hand just terrify the shiat out of me.
